     “Thank you!”shouted the ant, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} her low voice. But her voice was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} low that the bird couldn't hear it.

    After a few days, the bird was building his nest. Suddenly a bird catcher {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(careful) took out his nest(网). He quietly walked towards the branch where the bird was sitting.

    The ant saw this, and ran quickly to bite the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(man) leg. “Ouch” The pain in his leg made the man drop his nest. The bird heard the noise and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fly) away.
